Abu Jafar Ahmad ibn Yusuf ibn al‐Kammad (died 1195) was a Muslim Arab astronomer born in Seville, Al-Andalus. He is known to have been educated in Cordoba by the students of Al-Zarqali. His works such as al Kawr ala al dawr, al Amad ala al abad, and al Muqtabas, which is a compilation of the two previous Zij, made him famous not only on the Iberian peninsula but across North Africa, and specifically Tunisia, where the astronomer Ibn Ishaq al-Tunisi wrote commentaries on his works.
